House Beautiful‘s August 2018 issue features a vacation home in Montecito, California decorated by interior designer Mark D. Sikes and it is utterly charming. The designer never ventures far from his signature style that includes blues and whites and natural elements such as wicker and rattan and seagrass. Pastels and chintz add a summery, seaside vibe, and an existing coral chandelier was painted white to freshen it up. Old mixes with new and ikat intermingles with French bistro for an easy and elegant romantic space. Photos by Amy Neunsinger via House Beautiful, discovered via Belle Vivir
